Weekends are the toughest time to convince myself to cook at home! After a long week, the last thing I want is more work in the kitchen, so I knew I wanted to whip up something simple last night. Happy hour was calling my name so I decided to make my go-to quickie meal: a veggie burger!

My favorite veggie burger is Gardenburger's Portabella Mushroom Burger. It's not mushy like some veggie burgers out there, and has really great flavor. I used leftover sautéed zucchini from last night's meal to garnish my burger and placed it on a whole wheat English muffin spread with hummus.

My side dish: an apple (remember: I was rushing to make it to happy hour!). It was a great meal and I felt a lot healthier after eating it than I do after my usual go-to weekend meal: greasy Thai food. Plus, the whole thing only took about five minutes to make, so I was out the door and on my way out with friends pronto.

What did you guys make last night? Share your photos with us!
